he Lubuntu site features a traditional manual, but it suffers from the same problem as some of the other T distributions in that it covers subjects, such as using LibreOffice, which are better covered in their own documentation. There’s a wiki, but it’s a bit hit and miss.
There are probably more than 50 specialised articles on the Zorin OS website. Lengths range from a screenful of text and illustrations to longer articles for the more complex subjects. It’s good to see specialised documentation, but in some cases (like installing proprietary software such as Google Chrome), the instructions would have been the same for standard Ubuntu. The desktop environment articles are more specifically useful.
The core of Bodhi’s documentation is its wiki and this is extensive and properly focused on areas that are unique to this operating system. As well as general installation guides, we were able to locate articles that explained how to make configuration changes regarding the desktop environment, along with details concerning the included utilities, such as the terminal. Other sections, such as the article on installing and using Flatpak or Snap are justified, as there can be differences between distros.
The bulk of Linux Mint’s documentation revolves around five long, manual-style guides that are available online and in downloadable formats. These cover areas such as installation and troubleshooting, and are mostly on target as they don’t dwell on generic Linux subjects like some of the other distros do. The Elementary OS documentation isn’t particularly extensive, but the guide to using the desktop is good. There is also an installation guide and short FAQ.
